Weather of Arabia - With the spread of Corona virus, we began to hear the word "Quarantine" in abundance, so what does it mean and what is its origin?

 

What is the origin of the word "Quarantine"?

 

The scientist Ibn Sina reached the conclusion that some diseases spread through microorganisms, and then he created the idea of isolation and quarantine for 40 days, to be the first to find this method and then called it "The Forty".

Hence the current global designation "Quarantine", as some traders in Venice at that time took this successful method and transferred it to Italy under the name "Quarantine" which means "The Forty" in Italian.

This method created by the scientist Ibn Sina protects millions of people today!
